-for many years i have read the wonderful words of judith mattart, we even spoke many times over the phone, i am from australia and she used to ring me for...
Well I finally made my first cuts with my Granberg 36" chainsaw mill and mini-mill. I am cutting a freshly fallen 36-inch plus diameter sitka spruce. I had to...
Does anyone here have a Woodmiser LT40 parts manual? I'm looking to purchase some roller guides which are of the type installed on this series machine. Need...
Larry, I have an Alaskan with twin BIG (old but BIG, D25s,D26s I forget, but BIG!) Stihls. It's an awesome feeling to turn a big log into boards!! Not just...
Tony, I have a modified Lumbermate MK4, that I want to modify some more. - I'd like a handier combo throttle/water valve right where I push the head. On/off...
Longest log will be 21' (tracks are 24') Mostly cut into 4/4 lumber, but some 6/4 and 8/4 too 90% of what I cut is going to be for cabinet/furniture work the...
I actually bought a BeamMachine because it does not need bar drilling. It works pretty much like you say. And I expect that we will end up with a bandsaw...
I've large list of modifications and some of yours are already on my list! The relocated throttle and water valve are at the top! I was considering a throttle...
I have an older MK4. I replaced the bottle with a similar bottle, but put a 3/4 hose bib faucet with a quick change garden hose fitting and a clother washer...
... Guess we could also have and $80,000 tractor sitting next ot it, with the bottle up high in the bucket. How about an electric fuel pump maybe? Someone...
If the water reservoir is mounted on the saw head, the distance between this and the blade would remain constant as it would go up and down with the head; thus...
(throttle control similar to what's on a skidoo. You let go, the engine idles; you squeeze, it revs up! It would be located right on the push bar) I believe...
You'll need room to stack your logs, more room to put a few ready to load on the mill, a place for your waste slabs, (I use a farm wagon) another stack for...
Let's stay in touch about the combo throttle/water valve. Not sure what I want to do yet. I'd like to see the water have some pressure. Still thinking about...
Some guys have gone the windshield washer pump route and use kerosene and bar oil to occasional mist the blade. Timberwolf sells urethane belts that handle...
Yes, you're right. But then you'd have to readjust the overhead garage door spring, and it would be off when the bottle is empty or full. I'm still thinking...
The lumbermate sounds like quite a capable machine. One thing to perhaps clarify. When I was trying to describe my additional bunk, I don't think I did it...
I'm not sure what "more" water would buy you. Any more water than what will stay on the blade before it enters the log is simply spilled on the ground. Now,...
Tony, I'd say if you timed me sawing two 8 footers, and then one 16 footer, yes, the 16 footer would probable be faster, BUT! Wait untill you move 16' slabs...
I'll second that motion. I'd rather do two 8 footers unless I need the 16s. The three of us- me, myself and I have a combined age of almost 150 and too many 16...

Well, since I've zero experience with rolling logs and such, I guess I'll have to wait and see if my worn out body can take it or not. I may end up cutting...
Well, I would be 21 year less than three times your "almost" combined age when I get the product of three times my age, so maybe it's only the "really old"...
I'm compiling a list of the 10 most important bandsaw milling rules for my web site. Of course everyone is different and will likely have different rules. But,...
Pete, any petroleum products would be harmful to the belts that Norwood installs, so they would of course recommend against them. But if the belts were...
Unless you absolutely NEED 16 ft lumber, cut them 8'. You'd have to cut them later to successfully joint and plane them later. Plus, you'll most often get...
